Wuppertal, Germany - 10th December 2011

By: olgamaus

Hi Mummy,
today we visited the neighbour city Wuppertal.

Wuppertal is the biggest city of the hilly region Bergisches Land. One of the city’s greatest attractions is the suspended monorail (Schwebebahn), which was established in 1901. The tracks are 8 m above the streets and 12 m above the Wupper River.

The whole route of the Schwebebahn is about 13 km long, following the river and crossing streets at some points, it even crosses the A46 motorway.

We went to the shopping streets than, we also had planned to visit the Christmas market.

The Christmas market is situated in the main shopping streets. We saw lots of lovely things, for example those candle holders.

Katja bought vanilla honey and honey soap here.

We enjoyed eggnog here.

We also went into one of the shopping malls, also lovely decorated.

Katja told us that maybe tomorrow we go to Wuppetal again, to see a place which I would love. Maybe another riding stable? Let's see ...

Bye
Clyde
